Humboldt Dungeness Crab

[@modelleg]

Dude, The best way to cook the crab is in the water it came out of. Take my word.

[@sunshinecain6603]

I'm from The East Coast,(Nova Scotia) Love seafood, love watching all these shows on catching and cooking..Keep up the videos Guys!!!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Thanks, Sunshine. We appreciate your FEEDback. Joanie OCIC

[@snarfblattscuttle]

I like your style. I also appreciate being proud of the work you've done. Feels good to work hard and play hard. Keep it up!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Samuel Longfellow Thanks, Samuel. We appreciate your FEEDback, and are very proud of the following we have built up over the years. OCIC

[@wantsome480]

Nothing better then going out and catching your own food. I'm in Michigan I love going out and coming home with a cooler full of salmon walleye or perch. I wish we had crab in the greatlakes.

[@nerflirui]

Personally I don't care about how to cook crab or how to catch crab or what else... But this is totally worth a thumb up just because how you release the small ones and pregnant females. Way to go buddy!

[@0neduke]

From all the different types of crabs I've eaten. Dungeness for sure is my favourite and the most flavourful

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+0neduke We agree, but then, that is what we have been raised on. Some of our viewers have given other suggestions, but none of them can be found here. We go with what we know! OCIC

[@randolfvelasco5589]

The look on your face as you tried the first crab meat is priceless! YUMMMM!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

A picture is worth a thousand words....and it is so good, especially when I haven't had any to eat in a while. OCIC

[@randolfvelasco5589]

lols! good on'ya matey

[@drummerguy187]

Thanks man! Great video. You taught this rookie crabber how to harvest crab. I am going crabbing for my first time of the Washington Coast in a week. I cant wait!!!

[@btchslap2639]

i like people that follow their country rules...specially rules about fishing...thumbs up

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Thank you, we aim to adhere to the regulations put in place. OCIC

[@Imnotsure762]

Yea too bad you didn't kill them humanely before throwing them in a pot of boiling water...

[@wongleebruce]

Wow love the net, the pull, the capture and the cooking one of the great crab catch videos here thanks

[@deliriousjustin1]

[@Broxty]

Why do I find myself coming to this video every couple of months! I need to go do some more crabbing! Much love from Pacific Northwest Canada!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Broxty Thanks, Broxty. We don't mind repeat viewers....and it is such beautiful scenery. OCIC

[@NinoNlkkl]

crab butter juice, that is the real deal.

[@itzzzsss]

yes. the crab butter, when we eat dungeness crabs, I eat with white rice, melted butter and extra crab meat. makes a great meal.

[@gordonliddy9418]

We call it "the mustard" when eating crawfish

[@pardeshinaik9496]

Nino hiii

[@armangdejong7826]

We did that to , 60 years ago in Antwerp . The young guys call it schit!

[@tonchi5444]

one of the best crab eating videos I've seen. The crab juice was the best part although it was just 5 seconds or so. Winner man, you got me craving for crab every time I watch this.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Thanks, we appreciate the repeat watches.

[@JeremyyRyann]

So awesome to go get your own crab! Love it.

[@beethao4900]

Thanks, buddy. I live in NC and I was craving for some good crabs. After watching your videos i decided to go buy two Dungeness Crab and i had no idea how to cook them. Form your video, i got enough pointer on how to cook them and i gotta say i wish i had bought more.

[@cooknonthebrink7965]

Never thought about boiling crab in a dutch oven great idea! Sure looks like a good meal

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Cook'n on the brink And I see by your cover page that you have a dutch oven on display. That is one awesome outdoor kitchen set-up you've got there!! I'm trying not to be envious of it, but it sure is a sweet corner to cook outside meals at home. Thanks for watching, and BTW, love the name of the pregnant hot dog video of yours..... Joanie OCIC

[@2866jesse]

My wife can't watch this. She loves crab and would like to join in. Thank God you are able to go out and do it . Thank you for all the excellent videos

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Thanks, Jesse for your kind comments. My wife doesn't like crab, or eat it, but she'll cook it and sometimes crack it. As long as there is some for me, I'm content. Dean OCIC

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

"there is nothing you can't cook in a dutch oven" * melts down plastic chair with hot lid *

[@TangoSpiceCompany]

Fantastic video, always great watching where you are cookin' up a great meal!

[@Lalakaros]

After strained juices well water, you can cook spaghetti one that will get all the flavor. Along with fresh onion , garlic, fresh tomatoes, parsley , bay leaves. Saute chopped onion and garlic in in pure Mediterranean virgin olive oil. Once the onion become golden , add a few tablespoons of the broth we cook spaghetti . Add the tomato , our spices (salt pepper bay leaf parsley ) and simmer Whenever necessary, we hold broth of crab, and add .

[@mark031363]

I'm in Pennsylvania and I can smell them from here.Wow awesome feast.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

November 1, 2014......crab season is open here for sport fishing and we placed the crab pots in the water with great success! Cooked up a fresh batch last night, first of the season. They were pretty meaty so sport season may be a bit shorter in length this year, but we are hoping to pick up some more from the remaining pots today. Crab on!

[@mjohnsimon1337]

+outdoorcastironcook Quick question: What did you put in the water in this video when boiling crabs? Was it butter or some seasoning? Or does the water turn yellowish after you boil the crabs? Either way, I really want to try out this recipe!

[@KhHistory]

Crab... nice seafood

[@jenniferhammack507]

[@suronomeubel4212]

Hello boos

[@delia908]

Best crab eater...Thanks can't wait to go san pedro fish market in California. ....to have 10 crabs

[@2mebenngood]

Right, that part right there

[@desmoove]

Man, thanks for this! Did not know to take off the lungs, mouth, etc. I just always ate the whole crab.

[@thinkmackay8954]

desmoove: The lungs are also called DEAD MAN'S FINGERS!

[@ChefJustice]

I'm from NYC and I visited Trinidad CA 2 months ago. The fishing was absolutely AMAZING!!! (just missed crab season by a week)

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Chef JusticeStewart Chef, come back again some time and later in the year the better for crabbing. OCIC

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Crab is plentiful right now and very good in size. I have been fixing Dean crab for every meal these past few days! Crab omelette, crab sandwiches, Crabby patty melts, etc. Today is Thanksgiving and he and my twin bro are on the ocean crabbing right now. I will be having turkey and traditional side dishes for my meal. Time to go fill up the kettle, add in some rock salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Happy Thanksgiving. Joanie OCIC

[@outdoorcastironcook]

***** Thanks for the FEEDback, Skyhighblu. Yep, a big difference in crab and cooking styles between the left and right coastlines. And you are right, the best seafood is that eaten right after it is removed from the ocean. Joanie OCIC

[@leonardsullivan]

+outdoorcastironcook What a lifestyle! I hope from time to time you take a step aside to think about how good you have it, good sir! Many of us would kill for a life like this, what we do have though....are these great videos that allow us to live vicariously through you! Keep em' commin'!!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks so much for sharing with us Dean and Joanie. My wife is sort of skwemish about seeing the insides and it looks so much better after the cleaning out. It took me a long time to convince her to try some of my crab legs while we were out eating. Don't try to take her plate away now though, she really enjoys them now. I want to try the dungenous crabs but was afraid to try them in fron of her but I'll give it a go. She tolerates me eating crawfish in fron of her so I think it is time to go for it. This video helped me because I didn't know how you go about eating them like you just showed. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Fred.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

We are glad about the success you had in getting your wife to try the legs. Totally understand her reluctance to fully embrace eating them for so long. Joanie still doesn't eat crab,, never has.....

[@spoiledsandi]

Lol his face when he said mmm crab butter juice

[@jonasmontalbo7913]

looks very natural and traditional... love this video...thank you for showing it in youtube

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Appreciate this comment, Jonas. Thanks, from OCIC

[@6221mondo]

"catch it....cook it...Crack it and eat it!".... LOVE IT!

[@dazzlingdiamond5958]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@katanaburner]

Thank you for fishing for crab the right way. Making sure kids like mine can do this one day and their kids as well.

[@shortythepresident3913]

That was a GOOD ASS video bruh... Ioved the all-around-ness of it all. The catching, cooking and all that. I wont lie I was extremely jealous of the eating part. I would love to live where you all live and do stuff like that. NYC sucks man. Really really bad. I'm actually Jamaican so I come from a similar lifestyle. And I dearly miss it. I remember when I used to go back home on vacation, my home used to be very close to the hotels and the tourists would be on the beach gawking at us. And my uncle and me used to always grab a few of em and tell em to come on for a ride and we'd go lobstering for about an hour and then come back and cook lobsters on an open fire on the beach and drink. Tourists loved us for it. They always offered us money but we never took it. It was just the kindness of our hearts towards Caucasians who never seen stuff like that before because they were from the concrete jungle of the U.S. - I ended up seeing one guy on the train in manhattan. he kept staring at me. and not even knew he worked down the block from Penn Station. Me,him and his wife are friends to this day... ha ha... They say humans all come from water. And I agree. I never ever remembered such loving situations between strangers in my life until I fell in love with water. RIP Uncle "Greggy"

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Thanks for your FEEDback. OCIC

[@AlexPThorn]

I lived on my boat for a year Peugeot sound, after months of using chicken guts i discovered the absolute best crab bait is plain and simple 98 cent package of hot dogs. yes believe it or not the Crab went absolutely nuts for cheap store bought package of hot dogs....try it you'll see

[@annasdelightfulideas8150]

these crabs look delicious. To go catching crab is my favorite thing to do when my family and I go to the ocean hear in Oregon, and Washington.

[@swicheroo1]

Just a suggestion: You're already out in the ocean. Get some ocean water to cook with. It'll save you the cost of salt AND the result is superior.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Khanh Ho< Sometimes we do just that, but the wife dislikes me spilling ocean water/crab in our vehicle. Yes, I have done it a few times too many.....OCIC

[@swicheroo1]

Go to one of those Chinese restaurants and ask them if you can have those plastic buckets they use for soy sauce. They come with sealed lids. No spillage.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

We have friends who cook it in beer and others who use coconut milk....both good liquids. Water is cheaper and since we don't drink beer much handier to use. Dean will have to do another variation with one of the other liquids sometime. Thanks for posting, Joanie

[@raidacaipo]

I wish I was you... lucky man

[@GiuseppeDeSantis]

I've been recently to san francisco and i discovered one of the most delicious food i have ever eaten in my life: dungeness crab. I want to come back there just for this.

[@riciabrown7800]

You can also come to the Oregon Coast. We are famous for our Dungeness Crab. If you want to try a new location.

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

Yeah I keep out of SF as much as possible. Drive up the Nor Cal coast even into Oregon for the real deal. Try the mendo bistro for some of the best crab cakes on the west coast.

[@riciabrown7800]

Where is the Mendo Bistro?

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

Fort Bragg Ca

[@riciabrown7800]

I was hoping it was closer the the middle of the Oregon coast!

[@Fyralynn]

Is it really impossible to kill them before you boil them alive?

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Fyralynn Nope, it is possible. You can view our other preferred method of cooking crab titled "Live Backing Dungeness Crab". And you may wish to check out the many comments our viewers have contributed on how they prefer to prep them for cooking. OCIC

[@dataznguy5]

+Fyralynn Boiling them alive actually is one of the quickest way to kill them. Some other methods involve you stabbing the crab on the soft spots on their body, or just leave them out in the open to die slowly.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Dean loves to showcase the scenery and method of cooking thoroughly. If you ask him the time, he might build you a watch! :)

[@jamesgentry13]

5:28 can you feel it now Mr Krab???

[@jackeyji8142]

It's my favorite video in outdoorcastironcook channel, I watched it over and over again! In my hometown Jiangsu province, China, we eat river crab rather than sea crab, and craw fish is also very popular in Jiangsu. :)

dear sir you eat too much crab for one person let me share with you .see you in japan.

[@copperlocks1]

Great video...love crabs ..growing up we prepared shellfish differently..we actually steamed the crabs using seawater..i find that the flavor is more intense..VS boiling..thanks for sharing

[@theillmeister]

How dare you clean off that crab butter! It's so good.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Yep, we are pretty daring.....and it is my favorite to eat the c.b. as well. Dean

[@munge63]

Where is this? What are the regulations for catching crab? Is it like fish, where you just need a license?

[@Chargeglass]

munge63 Did you watch the video? "That ones Female, throw it back" And all the measuring?

[@piotrchin2495]

Looks really good and flavorful as the host is enjoying the crab without any dip.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

+Piotr Chin No side dishes are needed when it is this fresh. OCIC

[@israelturner8079]

Nice video but I'm from Louisiana and boiling crabs without Louisiana crab boil just makes me cringe. They still looked delicious though. Thumbs up

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Crab in our northwestern waters "flunked" the test once again.....no crabbing and Fish & Game has even put out a red flag on clamming. Drats! But, we'd rather forgo eating them than get sick, or worse. OCIC

[@BoomboxRocker]

My wife was raised in a family where she even caught and cooked all types of seafood, yet she would never eat crab as a kid and doesn't even like crab at all as an adult!!!
